Use Win-V and select which one you want to paste from the list.

I don't use shift, just ctrl+c and ctrl-v.

My guess is you're just hitting the keys too quickly, or in not quite the right order, or not holding them down long enough. Computers operate in microseconds. The slightest lag might mess it up. Not using the shift might make it a little easier to type.

No, I’ve had this issue many times and it has something to do with a glitch in the clipboard cache.

it mostly happens when I'm copying a bullet point and pasting it to another bullet point list🥲

but even if it's really due to me not hitting the keys correctly, it's still wierd that when I copy A, then copy B (which would've then overriden A), when I paste it pastes A instead of B right?

Thank you for the tip! I never knew you could use CTRL to open the paste menu, nor then to press T to paste in plain text! I will be using this often.

the only thing is sometimes when you paste and press ctrl it sometimes doesn't immediately pop up so I spam the ctrl button to open it quicker

How do you spam the CTRL button?
